As per the literature scanned, outbreaks of LSD in cattle and Buffalo have been reported in certain pockets of world (endemically). Outbreaks of LSD have been reported in late 2019 (as per OIE report) in India. Recently, the outbreaks have been documented in certain parts of Maharashtra, especially Beed district and Marathwada (Karyarambh newspaper, 2020). Therefore, it was found pertinent to publish a review article, highlighting the recent updates of this disease. This would not only help field Veterinarians to tackle this field problem, but also to the laboratory scientists to undertake further research on control and prophylaxis strategies.
:The present study was carried out to record incidence of reproductive disorders of buffaloes presented at different locations from Marathwada region of Maharashtra state. The 6 month data of reproductive disorders such as anoestrus, repeat breeding, prolapse of genitalia, retained placenta and metritis was studied. A total of 1513 buffaloes were presented at various Veterinary aid centers selected for this study. Amongst these 167 (11.03%) showed either or mixed reproductive disorders. On screening the data of 167 animals, anoestrus was found to be highly incidental (68.26%) followed by metritis (15.57%), repeat breeding (5.99), prolapse (5.99%) and retention of placenta (4.19%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
